Man Up: Stocking Stuffers for Him 2017

It’s my last super dude-themed post of the season y’all. And today’s is simple – and fun! Stocking stuffers any guy will love, all at great prices you’ll love too. Happy shopping and stuffing!

Mental Beats Virtual Reality Headset – $15 @ IndigoWho needs to spend hundreds on a VR system this holiday season? Not you! This iOS + Android-friendly headset feels comfortable while totally immersing himself in whatever virtual world he wants to jump into. Check online for dozens of amazing apps that’ll take him from Christmas morning to another planet altogether!

Deuce Anti-Stink Toilet Spray – $9.95 – $15.95 @ RIPTThis is one of those gift ideas that will make him laugh…but he’ll also totally use (and appreciate). Simply spritz one of RIPT’s two anti-stink toilet sprays before you make a bathroom deposit, and their proprietary blend of essential oils will block any less than pleasant smells from escaping – and effectively locking down the bathroom after you use it. Coming in two sizes (including one that’s perfect for toting in your gym bag for discreet drop-offs) and two scents, this clever little idea will make a big impact.

Genuine Health Protein Bars – $3.49 each @ Shoppers, Metro and Loblaws, as well as select health food storesI love protein bars as stocking stuffers because it’s something I’ll actually (happily) consume when I’m needing a quick hit of energy and protein. Genuine Health’s fermented protein bars are perfect for any fit-minded folks in your family, particularly if they’ve never heard of the brand or if they’re planning to gear up for something big in 2018. Literally every flavour I’ve had is all kinds of yum, and the fermentation is great for gut health / helps your body absorb nutrients that much better (and quicker).

Travel Sonic Toothbrush – $19.99 @ Drugstores and Mass Market RetailersIf he’s on the road this year, that doesn’t mean he needs to abandon all the trappings of home. This travel-friendly toothbrush comes with its own case that’s perfect for tossing in with your toiletries. Best of all, it’s got the same sonic action as his home toothbrush, delivering 32,000 sonic vibrations per minute. And it’s TSA approved, so no fear if he’s a carry-on only kind of guy.

Men’s 2-Pack Fair Isle Socks – $8 @ Joe FreshThe best part of putting some new socks into his stocking is the fact you’ll get to dig through his sock drawer and toss some of his ratty old ones. My pick? A subtly festive fair isle print that’ll look just as nice with his favourite suit as with his PJs on Christmas morning.

Gillette Justice League Gift Pack – $29.99 @ Food, Mass Market and Drug StoresI mentioned in my Stocking Stuffers for Her post that I’m all about buying practical gifts for stockings – like razor blades! Same goes for the dudes it would seem; my husband repeatedly asks for blades in his stocking too. The Gillette Justice League Gift Pack is quite literally jam-packed with awesome stocking stuffers for him – including 1 Fusion ProShield Razor (with lightweight, thin blades to provide less drag and irritation on his skin), 3 Fusion ProShield blade cartridges, Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive Shave Gel + Skin Care, Gillette Hydrator Body Wash, Gillette Clear Gel Deodorant, and even a VR headset so he can immerse himself in some exclusive Justice League content!

Cinnamon Roll Mini Skillet – $12.99 @ Shoppers Drug MartIf he’s got a sweet tooth, this little gift is a great way to get him to make his own treat (for once). It includes a mini cast iron skillet and a mix to cook up his own cinnamon roll. If you’ve never had a hot, toasted cinnamon roll fresh from the pan my friends, you’re in for a seriously scrumptious reward – if he’ll share with you!

MyPakage Boxers – $33The festive fun doesn’t have to stop after December 25th! These lightweight boxer briefs are perfect for every day wear and come in a range of wintery prints and designs. Plus they’re created with MyPakage’s signature comfy fit. If he’s not familiar with this cult fave brand, here’s the perfect time to intro him!

Metallic Silicone Wedding Rings – $29.99 for a Four-Pack @ Knot TheoryI recently learned about silicone wedding bands and have been pretty fascinated at the concept. The idea is that there are a bunch of activities most of us don’t want to wear our precious metal bands for – whether it’s working in the garage, cleaning dishes, or getting sporty by sweating up a storm at the gym, or swimming. Not only are these all great ways to wreck (or lose) your ring, there’s also safety hazards to wearing something metal while say, lifting your weight. Silicone wedding bands are a trendy alternative to when you want to still broadcast to the world that you’re wed – but not destroy your ring (or finger). Knot Theory carries some of the most real-looking wedding bands for men and women in a bunch of colours, including striking metallics (which eventually fade to a neutral dark grey, light grey, or dark brown, depending on the ‘metallic’ you were going for). If your spouse ever gripes about their ring – this stocking stuffer is seriously *just* the thing to gift ’em. The metallic ones are sold in four-packs, so if they lose a ring or one loses its lustre, they’ve got a few backups to shine on.

Today I’ve got a cool little prize package for one lucky dude (or dudette) looking to groom up this holiday season. If you win, you’ll receive:

RIPT Deuce Anti-Stink Toilet Spray

Carry Clean Travel Sonic Toothbrush

Gillette Justice League Gift Pack

A set of four metallic Knot Theory silicone rings
